An investigation begun last June resulted in the seizure of 666 kg of cannabis in Yvelines and 10 kg of cocaine found in cars in Perpignan and the arrest of several individuals involved in drug trafficking between Morocco and Île-de-France via Spain and the Pyrénées-Orientales.
It all started with suspicions of a high-speed drug convoy between Morocco and Île-de-France via Spain and the Pyrénées-Orientales. The police followed a convoy. The operation proved successful: they intercepted several vehicles near the Allainville toll and seized 666 kg of cannabis on board. Also, they arrested three men on Friday October 11 in Allainville (Yvelines). They are suspected of having engaged in “go-fasts” on behalf of a network of drug traffickers in Yvelines, reports News17. After their arrest, they were taken into custody.
